      In a time when a person working full-time can’t even afford groceries, we should be involved in exactly zero wars abroad.

      I hate this country.

      The US is providing about a quarter of Ukraine’s defense budget at this point, the EU another quarter, and Ukraine the remaining half.

      For the size and money disparity between the countries, it is surprising that the US is doing so little. The US military industrial complex has a bad habit it gets into where it often will give enough aid not to lose, but also not enough to win. Dan Ellsberg called it “The Stalemate Machine” and explained how it works in pretty heartbreaking detail.
